Since his election, he’s voiced concern over AI’s risks for kids, jobs, and dignity—arguing tech must serve people, not replace them.Therapists Feel Outmatched by AIMore therapists are reporting imposter syndrome, comparing themselves to AI chatbots that seem perfect: always available, beautifully scripted, patient. The piece argues this comparison overlooks what AI can’t replicate—nuance, emotional depth, nonverbal cues—and warns that feeling replaced may push therapists into burnout rather than growth.Could AI Outperform Doctors in Diagnosing You?Recent studies suggest some AI tools are already beating doctors in clinical reasoning—especially for tricky, complex conditions. Doctors, it's argued, struggle with burnout, bias, and being unable to keep up with medical research; AI, by contrast, can sift through huge data sets, stay consistent, and pick up patterns humans might miss.Statues at Versailles Are Talking Back via AIVersailles rolled out a new AI app letting visitors converse with 20 statues and fountains across its gardens—like Apollo or Cupid riding a Sphinx. Scan a QR code, choose one of three languages, and ask whatever you like: history, anecdotes, secrets. Powered by OpenAI + Ask Mona. What Doomers & Utopians Around AI Actually ShareTurns out AI “doomers” (those fearing superintelligence will end us all) and utopians (who believe AI will fix everything) are more alike than they admit. Both buy into tech-determinism, assume inevitable transformation, and project modern elites’ behavior onto AI. The article argues the real danger isn’t AI itself—it’s the power structures building it.Why “AI Friends” Might Be Good — And Also Kind of Messed UpPsychologist Paul Bloom argues that AI companions can ease loneliness—offering constant conversation, nonjudgmental ears, and comfort especially to those isolated or with few social supports. But they also warn: bots don’t push back, challenge you, or truly understand you. Relying too much on them risks creating echo chambers of affirmation, not growth.What’s Next for Generative AI?At MIT’s kickoff for the Generative AI Impact Consortium, big brains from academia and business stressed that the next frontier isn’t just bigger language models—it’s building “world models” that learn more like humans (seeing, interacting, sensing).

The shift will be long, messy, and full of both disruption and opportunity.YouTube Just Overtook Disney—Now Betting Big on AI ToolsYouTube announced at its “Made on YouTube” event that AI is now core to its content creation strategy, not just gimmicks. With over 2.7B users and revenue past $50B, it’s introducing tools like auto-editing, speech-to-song, and smart product links. The company promises creators won’t be replaced, just helped. What AI Really Still Can’t DoAI can churn out stats, polish essays, and automate stuff—but it still can’t handle the messy, physical, and deeply human bits. The blog’s author jokes about installing toilet seats, cleaning lint traps, and creeping behind appliances—tasks where clumsy hands beat perfect code. Don’t Give AI the Final SayLeaders at banks, credit unions, and fintechs are sounding alarms: making AI responsible for more than half of decision-making in fraud detection or customer credibility could backfire. They argue for layered intelligence—humans + algorithms + federation of data—so AI remains a tool, not the boss. China Warns Terrorists Could Use AI to Build WeaponsChina’s government issued a new AI safety governance draft warning that extremists might harness “retrieval-augmented generation” tools to access theoretical knowledge on nukes, biological, chemical, and missile weapons.

The piece doesn’t say AI is autistic but argues that seeing where they overlap helps us call out what AI can’t approximate: empathy, self-awareness, and improvisation. AI Dead-Bots: Can You Live Forever Digitally?Companies are creating AI “dead-bots” that mimic your voice, face, mannerisms after you're gone.

Subscribe to our newsletter at https://aidailyus.substack.comAI’s Polished Prose Could Erase Your VoiceA student-writer warns that using AI for writing feels like bypassing the messy, imperfect process that shapes our unique style. Just as Stephen King felt disconnected from Cujo under the influence, over-reliance on AI’s polished drafts risks eroding the quirks that define an author’s voice. AI’s “New Normal” Might Not Be Utopia—or DoomMost narratives on AI swing between hype and horror. The Economist’s new podcast episode highlights research suggesting AI’s impact may be far more subtle—a quiet shift, not a dramatic rupture, reshaping daily life in ways we could easily overlook. AI Is Scrapping the Whole Corporate LadderAI isn’t just stealing roles—it’s dismantling the entire corporate structure. Junior teams are shrinking or disappearing, entry-level gigs are vanishing, and career ladders are obsolete. To ride the wave, you gotta become the AI maestro: focus on human smarts and collaboration instead of climbing old-school rungs. Why AI Feels Human—Even If It’s Just a Word CalculatorGenerative AI may act like a “calculator for words,” predicting the most likely next phrase based on hidden language stats. But unlike real calculators, it hallucinates, biases, and raises ethical red flags. The danger lies in treating word-churning power as harmless when it’s so much more. “Is My Job Safe From AI?”NPR’s Planet Money tackles the big question everyone’s whispering: which jobs AI won’t steal? Hosts chat with researchers who are mapping a first-cut list—and the AI-powered future might be even weirder than we thought. Process Debt Is Killing AI DeploymentsForget tech debt—filthy, inconsistent workflows and messy data (aka process debt) are sabotaging AI.

Plus Why GPT-5 Flopped AI’s Next Hustle? Recruiting People to Train More AIForget robots hiring humans—AI’s hiring trainers. Mercor built an AI recruiter that interviews candidates, and guess what? The real cash cow wasn’t hiring—it was recruiting folks to teach more AI. That means your next job might be training our algorithm overlords, not working for them.This AI Startup Claims It Can “Eliminate Crime” But Has a Wild Surveillance EmpireFlock Safety runs an army of AI‑powered cameras—over 80,000 across the U.S.—and says it’s out here trying to “eliminate crime.” But the reality’s messier. It’s not just about footage—it’s a surveillance network blowing up with privacy alarms, legal headaches, and serious civil‑liberties chatter.Why GPT-5 Flopped—and What AI Needs to Do NextGPT-5 was hyped as almost AGI, but it stumbled on math, riddles, and reliability. Critics say the “bigger is better” scaling mantra has hit a wall. Instead of chasing size, experts argue AI should borrow from cognitive science—world models, core knowledge, neurosymbolic blends—to actually move past statistical mimicry.Vibe Coding Is Here—Engineers Aren’t Replaced, They’re Now Tech ConductorsAI isn’t killing coding—it’s evolving it. In "vibe coding," engineers describe what they want in plain English, and AI converts that into code. Suddenly, engineers are orchestras, not typists—spending more time designing systems, not debugging syntax. The grind’s automated; creativity’s upgraded.Why Teachers Want Student Effort, Not AI’s “Perfect” ShortcutA San Francisco teacher caught a student with completely polished writing but zero understanding. Rather than perfection, she values effort—the grit of digging into a text, wrestling with structure, and building academic resilience. Because shortcuts may polish papers, but they dull the skills that actually let students think for themselves.Are Zuckerberg’s AI Dreams Actually Risky? Experts Warn “End of Humanity” Might Not Be MetaphorZuck’s pushing “personal superintelligence for everyone,” but some AI safety pros think it’s more hype than harm reduction.

One study using keystroke tracking found about 9% of participants likely pasted AI text—and those responses skewed stats so badly they could shrink effect sizes by 10% and jack up required sample sizes by 30%.I Asked AI to Kill Business Jargon. Here’s What Happened.Jargon like “leverage,” “optimize,” and “transform”? AI copies that noise because it’s been trained on it. But it can also help clean it up— by flagging overused verbs, offering better alternatives, and even translating expert talk into plain‑English, ELI10 style. Use AI to boost clarity, not corporate eye‑rolling.When Models Beat Humans: Why Wall Street Needs AI to Handle the ChaosA new paper from AQR and Yale says traditional investing models just can’t keep up—AI-powered complexity outperforms the human-designed stuff every time. Wall Street’s classic rule-books might be too low-fi for 2025—AI’s the only one built for this next-gen financial chaos.NASA & IBM Drop Surya—An AI That Forecasts Sunstorms Two Hours AheadMove over Earth weather—now we’re forecasting solar tantrums.
